Pisa vs Bologna Prediction 2 March 2026
📢 Can Pisa secure crucial points in their Serie A Round 27 clash against Bologna at the Arena Garibaldi? The "Nerazzurri" are going through a tough spell, with their gap from the vital 17th spot widening each week, making every setback increasingly painful. Bologna, on the other hand, have managed to turn things around after a rocky patch, stringing together four consecutive victories. The question remains whether the visitors have enough resilience to extend their winning streak.
Head-to-Head
📊 The recent head-to-head history between Pisa and Bologna features just two matches, both ending in victories for the "Rossoblù". In the first round, Bologna thrashed their opponents 4-0, although it's worth mentioning that Pisa were down to ten men from the 36th minute, which led to their collapse.
Head-to-head statistics Pisa - Bologna
Pisa Team Overview
🔵 Pisa approach the match in a challenging mental state. The team have not secured a victory since early November, and even changes in the coaching staff have yet to yield the desired effect. Their position in the league table looks dire: 19th place with only 15 points, trailing nine points behind the crucial 17th spot.
⚫ In the last round, the "Nerazzurri" faced one of the season's pivotal matches away against a direct rival in the battle for survival - Fiorentina. However, the visitors' performance was disappointing: over 90 minutes, they managed only seven shots and recorded a modest xG of 0.32, while their opponents created far more dangerous opportunities. A 0-1 defeat could be considered a lenient outcome given the events on the pitch.

Bologna Team Overview
🔴 Bologna have seen a noticeable improvement in their recent form. The team heads into the match riding a four-game winning streak, a stark contrast to their previous struggles where points were hard to come by. This surge has helped stabilize their results and restore confidence. In their latest outing, the Rossoblu narrowly defeated Brann at home (1-0), securing a spot in the Europa League Round of 16. However, the match itself was not straightforward. Until a Brann player was sent off in the 37th minute, the game was evenly contested. Only with the numerical advantage did Bologna seize control and clinch the victory.
🔵 In the Serie A standings, Bologna sit in 8th place with 36 points. While they are technically still in the hunt for European competition, they trail the top six by nine points. Given this gap, even securing a spot in the Conference League seems challenging, let alone qualifying for more prestigious tournaments.

Latest news
Pisa
📣 After the match against Fiorentina (0-1), Pisa's head coach Oscar Hiljemark stated: "In the first half, I saw a team playing with fear, and that really frustrates me. In the second half, we finally started playing football... We had five or six opportunities for counterattacks, but we messed up each time."
🚫 The hosts face some minor squad issues. Daniel Denuna is doubtful as he recovers from a muscle injury. Goalkeeper Simone Scuffet (muscle injury), Calvin Stengs (knee injury), and Isak Vural (knee injury) are expected to return by mid-March.
Bologna
📣 After the match against Brann (1-0), Bologna's head coach Vincenzo Italiano stated: "The first twenty minutes went as I expected - the opponent went all-in and was forced to push the tempo. We made too many mistakes when isolating Rowe and Bernardeschi; we needed to be more decisive. After the sending-off, we became more compact and dangerous, hardly allowing the opponent any chances. The main thing is we achieved our goal and are moving forward."
🚫 Bologna face minimal personnel issues. By mid-March, Charalampos Lykogiannis and Juan Miranda are expected to return, both recovering from muscle injuries.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Despite their four-game winning streak, the "Red and Blues" still face challenges in their attack. Bologna have scored fewer than 1.5 goals in 6 of their last 7 matches. The only exception was against Torino (2-1), who remain one of Serie A's most conceding teams, with 47 goals allowed in 26 rounds. Pisa are likely to opt for a defensive approach, making this bet quite reasonable.
🚩 Corner Prediction
The "Red and Blues" rarely earn a high number of corners in away games-Bologna's individual total of under 5.5 corners has come through in 10 of their last 11 away fixtures. Notably, in the first-round head-to-head match (4-0) played at home and with a numerical advantage for most of the game, Bologna managed just two corners, making this bet appear sensible.
Editorial Prediction
According to bookmakers, Bologna are the favorites for this match, and it's understandable given the current form of both sides. However, away games against the "Nerazzurri" rarely come easy for their opponents-even when they do win, the scoreline is usually tight. Moreover, the hosts desperately need points; with each passing round, closing the gap from the relegation zone becomes increasingly challenging. It's also worth noting that Pisa have scored in their last three home games, finding the net even against teams like Milan (1-2) and Atalanta (1-1). In this context, considering a goal from Pisa seems reasonable. We dare to predict a 1-1 draw for this encounter.
